Limpopo police have arrested two food service aides working at Letaba Hospital near Tzaneen.
The two were arrested on Monday after being caught in possession of grocery packs believed to have been stolen from the hospital's storehouse.
Spokesperson for the provincial Department of Health spokesperson Thilivhali Muavha says hospital security found the packs while searching the officials’ car.
"The two personnel were arrested this morning while leaving the hospital after knocking off from night shift. It was then that the security personnel at the gate searched the car that the officials were traveling in and found packs of groceries stashed in the boot.
"Police were immediately called and arrested the two officials.”
Limpopo Health MEC Phophi Ramathuba added: "Our department is operating from a shoe string budget as it is, we can't afford to have leakages of resources caused by unethical and I'll disciplined personnel. We therefore want to commend the security personnel for doing their work without fear or favour.”
